S2E04 - Romeo and Juliet in the Snow [1920] with Maddie Whittle

Film writer and programmer Maddie Whittle joins us to discuss ROMEO AND JULIET IN THE SNOW, Lubitsch’s other 1920 comic riff on William Shakespeare. We discuss shocking adaptational genre shifts, dunking jokes, Lubitsch’s habit of shooting location exteriors in the alps and only the alps, continuity, and the sad preservation status of this film. Griffin Sheel was our dialogue editor for this episode. NEXT WEEK: We discuss SUMURUN.
